I'd like to see a "View Manual" line added to the individual roms 'options' pop-up box, as well as a "manual" text box in the 'edit metadata' pop-up box for the file path.
I'm proposing that the manuals should be in a .cbz like format of sequential images in a zip file.
I imagine that Emulation stations code can already handle unzipping and displaying images, but for convenience sake I'll post how I have already gotten it to work with fbi on retropie. The $1 = the passed file path.
